What Does Islam Say about the Day of Judgment?

 

What Does Islam Say about

the Day of Judgment?

Like Christians, Muslims believe that the present
life is only a trial preparation for the next realm of existence.  This life is a
test for each individual for the life after death.  A day will come when the
whole universe will be destroyed and the dead will be resurrected for judgment
by God.  This day will be the beginning of a life that will never end.  This day
is the Day of Judgment.  On that day, all people will be rewarded by God
according to their beliefs and deeds.  Those who die while believing that “There is no true god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of
God”
and are Muslim will be rewarded on that day and will be admitted to
Paradise forever, as God has said:

 And those who believe and do good
deeds, they are dwellers of Paradise, they dwell therein forever. 
(Quran, 2:82)

But those who die while not believing that “There is no true god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of
God”
or are not Muslim will lose Paradise forever and will be sent to
Hellfire, as God has said:

 And whoever seeks a religion other
than Islam, it will not be accepted from him and he will be one of the losers in
the Hereafter. 
(Quran,
3:85)

And as He has said:

 Those who have disbelieved and died in
disbelief, the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them if it
were offered as a ransom.  They will have a painful punishment, and they will
have no helpers.

(Quran, 3:91)

One may ask, ‘I think Islam is a good religion,
but if I were to convert to Islam, my family, friends, and other people would
persecute me and make fun of me.  So if I do not convert to Islam, will I enter
Paradise and be saved from Hellfire?’

The answer is what God has said in the preceding
verse, “And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will not be
accepted from him and he will be one of the losers in the Hereafter.”

After having sent the Prophet Muhammad
to call people to Islam, God does not accept
adherence to any religion other than Islam.  God is our Creator and Sustainer.  He
created for us whatever is in the earth.  All the blessings and good things we
have are from Him.  So after all this, when someone rejects belief in God, His
Prophet Muhammad , or His
religion of Islam, it is just that he or she be punished in the Hereafter. 
Actually, the main purpose of our creation is to worship God alone and to obey
Him, as God has said in the Holy Quran (51:56).

This life we live today is
a very short life.  The unbelievers on the Day of Judgment will think that the
life they lived on earth was only a day or part of a day, as God has said:

 He (God) will say,
“How many
years did you stay on the earth?”  They will say: “We stayed a day or
part of a day....” 
(Quran, 23:112-113)

And He has said:

 Did you then think that We had created
you in jest (without any purpose), and that you would not be returned to Us (in
the Hereafter)?  So, God is exalted, the True King.  None has the right to be
worshipped but Him... 
(Quran, 23:115-116)

The life in the Hereafter is a very real
life.  It is not only spiritual, but physical as well.  We will live
there with our souls and bodies.

In comparing this world
with the Hereafter, the Prophet Muhammad
said: {The value of this world compared to
that of the Hereafter is like what your finger brings from the sea when you put
it in and then take it out.
}1 
The meaning is that, the value of this
world compared to that of the Hereafter is like a few drops of water compared to
the sea.

Learn Holy Quran because it will be a proof for us muslim on the Day of Judgment.

This is due to the statement of the Messenger: “And the Quran is a proof for you or against you.” [Muslim] so the deputy of every Muslim is to read quran and learn quran with tajweed so one of two things will occur with this proof, the Book of Allah. And this quran education will be in your favor, a proof for us on the Day when we will need every single good deed and learning quran along with doing quran memorization is one of it and to add more spread the quran teaching and spread the kids quran knowledge and listening to quran online and understand the quran tafseer , it will be something standing against us and follow the guidance of or prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, and these good deeds will be a proof against us! Who could be saved from the terrors of that Day if Allah’s own Speech is against him?!?! Think carefully, so reading Arabic Quran and teaching our kids quran qaida with the tafseer of quran  and let the kids memorize quran dear Muslim brother or sister, about your position with the reading Quran! Are you neglecting it, contradicting it, being heedless of its orders and prohibitions, are you thinking deeply over it?! Will it be on your side on the Day of Judgment.? So learn quran recitation! O Allah! We ask you, by Your Glorious Speech and the rest of your beautiful Names and Attributes, to make the Quran a proof for us! So the Quran tutor should let his student know about these facts also,
